Entry-level roles ask for min 2 years of working experience. Is this the norm now?? What happened to give me a job first so i can GAIN experience?🤬 Sorry guys, i'm honestly SO EXHAUSTED. It’s been A YEAR of nonstop applications, futile interviews & rejection emails. First few months, I stayed hopeful. But now my family keeps asking, "Still no job meh?" I’ve tried everything! Networking, career fairs, upskilling.. but the job market is brutal. How do i keep being positive in this situation??

Got laid off last week after spending almost 7 years in corporate. No warning, the reasons of laying me off were vague. Totally not fine but move along, I’ve applied to tons of jobs, but no replies yet. Now I’m just sitting here wondering how to survive the next few months. Should I look into passive/part-time jobs? Desperately need work… and I gotta say, even those scammy “earn from home” ads really look tempting.

I accepted a verbal offer 2 week ago and no update at all ever since... Every time I ask HR, they just say, “Still processing.” Processing WHAT?! My anxiety?! I left my old job for this, now I’m terrified they’ll ghost me. Do I keep waiting? Chase them harder? Or start job hunting again before it’s too late?! Silly me for believing HR's sweet words (they sound SO CONVINCING THO??) I literally don’t know what to do except maybe retract my resignation letter 🥲 Should I?

how many resumes did you send out before finally getting your job? For me, it was 37 applications, 10 interviews, and 3 awkward rejections before I got my current job. And don’t even get me started on ghosting! Is this normal, or am I just really unlucky? I'm curious to find out other people's application-to-job success ratio?! If you're willing to share, comment down below and let's discuss!

Raise your hand 🙋🏻‍♂️ if you find writing your resume tough. You're not alone. Many job seekers struggle with the resume writing process. So, which part of writing a resume is the hardest for you? A) Identifying the right keywords B) Formatting it for readability & ATS C) Crafting impactful achievement statements D) Summarizing work experience succinctly Pick ONE, and feel free to share why in the comments 😄

Anyone else over 35 feeling stuck in the Singapore job market? 😕 I’ve been applying to roles for months but barely getting interviews. I’ve got over 10 years of experience in HR, currently earning $6k/month, but I’m finding it hard to transition to a new role. I can’t help but wonder if my age is affecting my chances, especially with younger candidates dominating the scene. How are you dealing with this? Do you also face the same difficulty like me, where age could be the factor?
